    Overview

    Werewolves, also known as lycanthropes, are humans with the ability to transform into either a large wolf or wolf-like creature. Generally, they gain this ability by being bitten by another werewolf, after being placed under a curse, or purposely through some sort of arcane process. The actual werewolf is primarily a European legend, however, many cultures around the world have legends/myths about humans shape shifting into animals or vice-versa.
